Description

The Arducam LN050 is a precision-engineered CS-mount lens optimized for the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera ecosystem. Its 16mm focal length offers a balanced field of view, making it suitable for applications requiring a moderate perspective without extreme wide-angle distortion. The lens construction includes a manual focus ring and an adjustable aperture iris, providing developers and integrators with granular control over image sharpness and light exposure for varying environmental conditions.

Built to match the 1/2.3″ optical format of the IMX477 sensor, this lens maintains image circle compatibility to avoid vignetting. The CS-mount threading ensures a secure, flush connection to the camera module, maintaining precise back focal distance for optimal focus. Its all-metal barrel and compact dimensions make it a robust choice for embedded vision systems in robotics, surveillance, or industrial inspection where reliable optical performance is required.

Key Features

  • 16mm fixed focal length lens with a 24-degree horizontal field of view.
  • Manual focus adjustment ring for precise subject sharpness control.
  • Adjustable aperture (iris) with a maximum opening of F1.2 for low-light performance.
  • CS-mount thread designed for direct attachment to Raspberry Pi HQ Camera and compatible IMX477/577 boards.
  • Compact and lightweight metal housing (Φ30x29mm, 45g) for portable or mounted applications.
  • 0.2-meter minimum object distance (MOD) for mid-range imaging tasks.
  • 1/2.3" optical format matched to high-resolution Raspberry Pi camera sensors.

Applications

  • Raspberry Pi HQ Camera projects requiring fixed focal length and manual control.
  • Embedded vision systems for robotics, drones, or autonomous vehicles.
  • Surveillance and security camera setups needing adjustable aperture for light control.
  • Industrial machine vision and quality inspection applications.
  • Educational and prototyping platforms for computer vision and photography.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Arducam LN050 lens compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2?

No, the Arducam LN050 is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi High Quality (HQ) Camera module, which uses a larger IMX477 sensor and a CS-mount. The standard Camera Module V2 uses a smaller M12 mount and sensor, so this lens is not physically compatible. Ensure you have the HQ Camera or an Arducam IMX477/577 breakout board before purchasing.

How do I adjust the focus and aperture on this lens?

Focus is adjusted manually by rotating the textured focus ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears sharp on your camera's live feed. The adjustable aperture (iris) is controlled by turning a separate ring, changing the F-stop to let in more or less light. For best results, set up your camera on a monitor, open the aperture to F1.2 for maximum brightness to focus, then stop down to your desired F-stop for final capture.

What is the field of view provided by this 16mm lens on a Raspberry Pi HQ Camera?

On a Raspberry Pi HQ Camera with its 1/2.3" IMX477 sensor, this 16mm focal length lens provides an approximate 24-degree horizontal field of view. This is considered a moderate, versatile focal length, narrower than a typical wide-angle lens but wider than a telephoto, making it suitable for general-purpose imaging, portraits, or capturing subjects at a medium distance without significant distortion.
